new speeding technology in MCN

[Blunet600]

anyway read MCN where they were talking about the new speeding technology, where satelites track your vehciles for hundreds ofmiles and if u speed they get u done. its ballocks if it ocmes in, where will there be freedom on the roads if its introduced!
also off topic but the fucking petrol costs!!! the bastards!

[Davo]

Why's this in workshop?

I wouldn't believe everything you read (especially in MCN) their journalistic style is somewhat alarmist.

[veeeffarr]

Weird,

Judging by what he's saying this looks like it's a reply to a post gone wrong.

i dont think satelites would be used very often for that sort of thing as they have important things to do. Probably technically possible but not financially viable.

Not financially Viable? Imagine the amount of speeders will get caught...

[colin1]

if its a gps sytem rather than an eye in the sky watching us, then every vehicle would need to have a black box

that would be a big undertaking

Hi

There is a fleet of cars running round Leeds with a GPS speed limiter system fitted, and they now have a 600 Bandit running with the same system.

By the way, new passport process costs so much because it will include an ID and a sub dermal tracking device .

All the best

i still think it would be hard to implement nationally
it would piss everyone off for starters. hardly a vote winner
im sure quite a few people would vote against a government that implemented it at the next election

even law abiding citizens need to break the speed limit from time to time to overtake

im sure it would save lives, but I dont want it and I dont think many voters would want it.

mps and cabinet ministers would only want it if their cars were exempt

It would backfire on them if you got three points for every offence, cos everyone would get banned after six months!

I don't think it would be possible for all vehicles to use GPS speed limiting devices, that would require a huge amount of bandwidth between communications sats and the black boxes fitted to the vehicle...not yet anwyays

Isn't the GPS network actually owned by the American government?
Surley that would mean the British government would spent millions of pounds setting up a system that uses a service that they have no ownership or control of, that could in fact be turned off at any time

This means it is almost certain to happen, becuase the Blair government loves to watse moeny and annoy people by trying to be controlling

The EU is launching a competitor network called Galileo. As there is no point to this beyond thumbing their noses at the States, I'm sure the Eurotrash would welcome an initiative like this as justification for their huge waste of money and resources.

Hi

The intention is to use galileo, and it is designed for more invasive use on the civilian population, rather than the GPS system that is designed for military use.

That GPS style speed limiters will be fitted is pretty much regarded as a certainty by the government. They are now just at the PR stage to get people to accept it.

At 3 points for every offence I doubt anyone would last 6 days let alone 6 months. Idea of the current proposals though is to limit the vehicles speed rather than report people for speeding.

All the best

There is a way round every system the government could ever think of. I can see it being one of these things where you would wire in something (lets take 'a black box' as a name for it). The black box either screws up the limiter, or sends a different GPS signal, when you need to get it MOT'ed, just take the black box off and ride sensibly for a day. Besides it would be IMPOSSIBLE to track every single car, bike or scooter by satelite

sure I know ALL technology has its weaknesses,

Like finger print recognition was defeated by a Japanese bloke with $10 of home equipment

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/16/gummi_bears_defeat_fingerprint_sensors/

thats the smart non violent way

In Malaysia however there was this guy with a Smart Merc that used no keys but his finger prints , so what did the crook do? , cut off his hand.


The ID card tracking system will probably use RFID defeated by tin foil , and if the black box is linked to the engine everybody will turn to diesel since although I know of it but not know how to do it , diesels are hard to imobilise and apparently if fuel can be gotten into the cylinders it fires up.

Hi

Generally Irish ones that seem to be tanking along.

Speed limiters and tachographs are different things. Not sure a speed limiter is required on a 7.5 ton truck.

All the best
